How God Gave Me a Dream Job After Being Desperate

No matter what you ask for, if you asked in faith, you will receive it. (Mark 11:24) I may never knew the true meaning and power dwell in this word, if I never been through the hardship to find a dream job under the help of Almighty God. And God made me to grow from a double-minded Christian with doubt and anxiety to a faithful follower who always rejoices in hope of the glory of God (Roman 5:2)

After graduation from college I worked in Finance industry for a few years but the job was not ideal. Since the end of 2011, I started to look for a new job. Due to Euro debt crisis and poor performance of local stock market, good opportunities are few. I was very frustrated but I kept praying. However, since I did not understand that asking in faith means I must believe that I have received it when I pray, so I could not experience the power of prayer.

Till May, I have not received one offer. Disappointed by the situation, I even thought of leaving the world of finance and looking for opportunities in other industry.

After some interviews, I received an offer from one of the largest human resource management company and the compensation was good. However, when I sadly decided to give up my financial dream, a large finance company called me to arrange an interview with me. Lost any hope already, I did not carefully prepare for the interview, but the interview went very well.

The interviewer told me that the final decision would be made within a few days but after three days, there was no news at all. Once again, I was anxious but I kept praying. For to the one who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.(Mark 4:25). Unfortunately, I belonged to the group with little faith.

One day, I was playing a card game on computer, I tried to use one special trick. It could only happen with very small chance (about 5/1000), and throughout the day miracles never happened. At the end of the day, I prayed that

Oh lord, if this job is mine, please let this trick happen now.

Then I sent a message to all players declaring that this time I shall succeed. Then I clicked the mouse, it miraculously happened and I could feel my Holy Spirit was very thrilled. I was so amazed and every player was astonished.

Since the miracle, whenever my family or other friends from church asked me about the job, I said: I am not worrying at all. Lord has already told me, it was well locked in my safety case. But I still did not know the true meaning of Mark 11:24, so I did some research and heard a sermon by Joseph Prince, then I finally knew I must believe that I have received when I pray.

Out of everyone’s expectation, I waited for another 2 weeks then I received another interview. After the 2nd interview, things went quickly and smoothly — soon I passed the 3rd interview and at last I received the offer.

My family were amazed and they praised God for only He could create a job with all duties perfectly align with my skills and interests.

I wrote this testimony for all the brothers and sisters who are now in suffering, anxiety and even desperation, I want you to remember that Our God gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist (Roman 4:17) and He will bring you what you need the most in the perfect timing(Galatians 4:4)!!!

If He gives you open a door, then He is the beginning and the end (Revelation)?He will have the final words on it!!!

So, all we need is to trust in the Lord with all our heart, acknowledge him in all our ways, rest in peace and wait for Him patiently, rejoice in Him as always, and He will bring you the desires of your heart. (Ps 37:4, Proverbs 3:5-6)

I agree. Amen! Great story. I have had a really tough year and a half. I have felt helpless and at times had a rough time waking up… I have been trying and trying to find work doing what I love and use my God given potential!!! I have been rejected time and again… It’s hard especially in my field of study. That said I have achieved success and my dream before and I wasn’t ready. I made mistakes and learned a lot from them!!! People have been saying it’s over rich just find another career… So I have taken jobs that I hate to appease my family. Each have not worked out. I know deep down that I was out on this earth for one thing and there was something there IS SOMETHING telling me that it isn’t time to turn in yet… So I recently started praying. I am not going to lie I wasn’t the holiest person. I just felt that that PERFECT FIT WAS THERE… Somewhere. Well last Wednesday I found it. I applied got a call that day, another call the next day, had an interview that lasted almost 3 hours all in the span of 2 days. It’s literally perfect, like in the article ONLY GOD COULD CREATE SOMETHING SO PERFECTLY FITTING OF MY PASSION AND SKILLS… This is it. I have not gotten this job yet and I may not. I am supposed to find out tomorrow or Tuesday at the latest. He said he would call either way. I can’t explain I just have a feeling… One I haven’t had before like God is saying Rich “this is it. This is your last chance, I am giving you EVERYTHING you need and want. This is your chance to take back your life work hard and be happy. You used to be so happy and a great person and now depression and sadness had turned you into a shell of your former self” I have NEVER FELT THAT God was send me a message a chance or an opportunity to resurrect myself before. I needed help and didn’t know how to ask, but subconsciously he sees all and knows that I am trying but can’t get out of this hole alone. I need his hand! To be clear I don’t know if I have this job but I pray and have been all weekend that God gives me this one thing. I have learned so much and need to move on with my life… I hope he can see in my heart that this is my desire and he feels I am worthy. Please all, pray for me. It would mean the world. If/when (God willing) I get the call or job I will update here. I just feel so inspired and I had to write this. I feel this chance and pray my instincts are more than that, they are God given feelings. If I don’t get this job then there must be a plan out there for me. I think maybe that is a sign. A sign that it’s time to move on. No more pipe dreams of making people laugh each morning or creating content that makes someone smile just because… Oh well. I pray that doesn’t happen, I don’t know if I am ready to say goodbye to this yet. But you have to trust his judgment. So I will! Good or bad Job or no Job! God Bless and thank you all so much for the time!

Rich, first congrats to you that you have not given up. Secondly, I encourage you to speak as if you are already received the blessing which you have prayed for. Our minds play many games with us, but cannot doubt god and his work. YOU MUST SPEAK IT INTO EXISTENCE! Stop saying if it happens and start when it get it. Makes all the difference, that is showing true faith. It is hard I admit but try it and see.

Six years of chronic unemployment and now my temp dream job is gone as of 12/30. Unemployment is an instrument of the devil. I have applied to so many jobs with rejections. I pray that God blesses me and shows me love with once again placing a hedge of protection around my life. I am a child of the most high God I am worthy of working for pay (so many of my temp jobs I have to work off the clock without pay even though I am hourly). I pray that the devil finds a new mark to use his cunning deceptions on-please pray for me-Can you hear me God?

Hello Susan, Be strong in faith! I too am in in need of a job. I have a had a long career in IT and have been on a downward slope for over a year now with my job ending on 1/31. Continue to pray but more importantly, begin to “rest” in believing that the finished works of Jesus and that all of your needs are met and that he will make himself known right on time! It is not easy but just believe!

I was in a great paying job but bad environment and a bad manager. I was thankful for my job due to the great compensation but I wasn’t happy and was praying for a transfer to another team and department. But God’s ways are strange…my company fell into a financial crisis and they resorted to laying off a large no of people mostly fresh and new hires and I was one among them. Disappointed at first, but I thanked God believing that He had partly answered my prayers and had better plans for me. I enjoyed the first few months of my freedom partying, holidaying with my saved up money.

Finally after a few months I decided to start looking for a job. Applied to numerous companies and gave many interviews…but strangely, everytime I came very close to nailing the final round, something would always come up and I would be rejected for flimsy reasons. I thought this was normal and kept applying and attending interviews but I always got rejected at the last moment. A company had even confirmed me over the phone and I was happily waiting for the offer letter when I was told they had some problems with the client and could not go ahead with the offer.

This was very unusual as all my interviews were very close calls. It made me start thinking that perhaps God wants to send me a message. I do not know what message is it till now and what God wants me to do.

But during this time, I have learned that God is trying to teach me to be humble and thankful. I was quite proud of my achievements and job, coming from one of the top colleges in my country and earning a fat paycheck not many in my family or friend circle did.

I have indeed learnt humility and gratitude and realised my mistake. I am starting to get disappointed with my job hunt, but I still believe that God has plans for me. I do not know what He wants me to do yet, but I am still hunting for a job knowing that God will not abandon me and I now plan to live a wiser and more thankful life once I have a job and help less fortunate people with my income that God will provide.

Thank you. I read your comments and have been struggling with God’s timing. I pray for healing of mind also healing for family, freinds. Please God in JESUS name please help me meet someone who will help me.

LORD GRANT ME SPIRITUAL STRENGTH, protect my mind from harm. Please guide me to Godly council and protect us from negativity.
God bless you I feel calm now. I ask you to heal and strengthen my mother, heal her heal my father and brothers and sisters. Please forgive me mom and dad their just anything in the rule book on some of the trials of lij

Thank you for your testimony, it was encouraging to me. Though I will admit that i’m in a financial struggle myself, nd I’ve been lookin for employment for over 2yrs. My search has been draining nd discouraging. I’ve also been told that someone has placed a curse on my finances years ago. It is very hurtful what i’m dealing with, a single mom. But I thank God for you that he made a way for you, continue to praise and glorify him.

Thank you for your testimony.
I came for a job search to Singapore 2 months back. Soon after coming here I placed in company. They fired me after 11 days. Again in search of new job since one month. As I am free listening to GOD’S word and going to Joseph Prince church. Improving in faith. Don’t know how long I should wait????
Even I want to share my testimony soon like you.

Thank you so much for your testimony. Same situation im going through now. Last week i attended one interview and they said they will call and tell about the result. It has been 4 days. But I dint get a call. i started worrying every day about that because I fully believed that the job is mine. I put all my hope on god. Daily crying to god for my sins and waiting for him to act in my life. I wish i could have more faith on him. But in these hard days I started loving JESUS more and having faith on him more. Friends please you to pray for me. I wish I could also share the miracle yet to be happened like you.

Thank you for this. Very soon I will be in need of full-time work, I pray that God will provide a way for me. Hebrews 11.1: Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Dear Ruth.
I read your note, and I want you to be strong and believe that God is with you. I know how you feel and he does also. I am praying for you. God will not abandon you, in His time he will lift you up from the valley and he will open doors for you. In Jesus name!!! May he bless you and enlighten you and strengthen you. Keep praying and God will surprise you when you least expect it. Remember he is with you. Ruth, I know its difficult not having your parents here but their spirit lives within you and that will give you strength to succeed. I was touched by your words and want you to know I am praying for you…. God bless you

thank you for sharing this. I don’t have that strong faith as well, as you are before, and that is my number 1 prayer to Him, to give me a strong faith on Him. I do have this dream job, and waiting for their response. Hoping to have a happy ending like yours. In Jesus name, i surrender it all to Him. I just need to believe.
You were blessed for you to be a blessing to others as well
Thanks for inspiring us. :)

Thank-you for sharing this. I fell on this by looking for help on the internet! I am not the top believer but I must say things are changing inside me and it really feels good. Your message is helping me at a time that I really need it. I need to change job, I must feel that I am doing something good for the society and i also must enjoy my work which is not the case at the moment.
I will pray and I will find the right job!
Thank-you for this message of hope.

I’m Really Touched by your testimony,I’m attending an interview on easter Day march 31 2013,Im Praying that i have got the job..,& i believe that God will do great things.. plz pray for me people…soon ill share a testimony with joy…

I read all testimonies and share in the joy of those who saw the outcome and give all glory to God.For those who still wonder and did not get any answer, I pray that God will provide through His love and grace!

Just something I truly believe and experienced .Firstly, I agree 100%- God’s time is not our time!God can and God will give in a moment if He wants to! Faith is not something that is always “easy coming”!However, wonderful faith can be given in a moment, I believe God uses time to shape the most of us. Because faith is what it is. To believe in something you haven’t seen yet, and believe that you will receive it. Mark 11:24 says clearly ,that if you believe, God will give you whatever you ask.

I’ve been thinking a lot about this verse. Surely it means exactly what it says but… do we really understand the fullness of that faith the Word is talking about? Because the Word says… if your faith is as small as a mustard seed you will tell this mountain to move… and it will. Therefore I believe, if your faith in God is so strong, that “whatever” you ask, will be inline, with what God wants for His children- an He then will give. It maybe that people “test” God on this, but their faith is nothing more than “worth nothing!” – and then things does not happen as they want it and they start to loose whatever little faith there were! A good example of how God tests faith is clearly shown with Moses, Israel and the period of the 10 plagues in Egypt! Abraham’s faith was fully tested when God told him to offer his only son he had with Sarah. There we can see the timing.He was on his way to “slaughter” his own son when God provided the ram in the bush! Whenever that ram was born, God planned it,that on that day, his horns will get entangled in a bush and …of course – exactly close to the place where Abraham wanted to offer his son! And it was there exactly on the moment, when he took out the knife to cut his own son’s throat!To many it may sound like a “ha-ha-story” but the truth is…that is only a very small example of how great God Almighty really is!If you ever wondered if God is real…read the testimony on “Ever wonder if God is real?” “He TRULY is!” -( it is in the HEALING section of Testimonyshare) It is also good to remember that Paul asked Jesus to take away “that something ” what hindered him, and Jesus said to him, my grace is enough for you! God knows what to give to His children and what not!

Please share in this prayer ,and agree with me! Precious God Almighty, we come to you and bow before your thrown.
We give all honor and praise to you alone Father, and we humble ourselves before you.In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord we ask you,to strengthen us in our faith. This question was also asked by your disciples and the answer you gave them, was an explanation as to why faith is so important!We also ask for more faith and we trust your ways of teaching us!Your ways are perfect and on time Father! We thank you for hearing this prayer, we thank you for each one ,you strengthen through every testimony ,which exalt your Holy Name all over the world! We love you Father!What we ask, we ask in the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord!May your Holy Spirit guide us, to walk in faith and never take our eyes away from our Lord Jesus !Amen!

Am really encouraged by this and i strongly believe that am going to get my dream job, i Have never been in employment in my lifetime but i have always hoped to get employment. Right now am searching for a job and from your testimony i will continue believing that my job is soon coming, I had given up completely and was on the net trying to get out why God has forgotten about me, then i landed on your article and it has really encouraged me, am back to pressing on again.
God bless you.

Thank you VERY, VERY, much for this very encouraging testimony. I know that God will bring everything together in HIS perfect timing. I just needed to know that I’m doing what I need to do in the meantime. Thank you again! May GOD continue to BLESS you in EVERYTHING you set your mind to accomplish!

it has been since last four years i have been looking for a job that would suit my nature and capabilities.I have been praying for it very hard for very long time.some time I feel that God has turned away his face on me and thought many times to end my life.I am really in a sinking stage with lot of financial liabilities on me.when i read your testimony i felt a positive energy and hope to wait longer for God to act upon in my life.God hear my prayer and prayers of all the unemployed.thank you Jesus…praise you Jesus…your ways are mysterious.

I just want to encourage you that eventually you will get a job that matches all your skills and capabilities. I myself have been searching for a job for over the past 5 years. I have been called for several big interviews but it always never seemed to go well and I failed. In the end every interview made me analyze my own weaknesses and I have built on that to become better during the interview process. I must say that God has been very good to me; whenever I have called on him with a lot of desire and faith he has answered me. Just today I received a message from a recruiter that I have been accepted to a certain role in one of the top 100 fortune companies. I felt a lot of joy because this job actually fits my capabilities and skills and is exactly what I have been looking for for 5 years!!! Keep your faith in God and he will lead you to your dream job. God bless you

Romans 10:17 says “so then faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. We have to build our faith hearing scriptures and sermons on faith and provision. Philippians 4:19 says “But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” We have to meditate on these scriptures(mutter,ponder) day and night to get them down into our heart so that it won’t just be head knowledge but heart knowledge that’s when we truly believe the Word and the Holy Spirit will help us to do it. The Word Works.

Thank you for your amazing story.. really.. I’ve been struggling with myself to find a job. At first, I’m really excited after I got every calls for interview.. But now I’m really hopeless and depressed because they never call me after the interviews. I always pray to God, I say I believe in Him, He will give the best job for me.. But I never got it.. I thought maybe He doesn’t love me, doesn’t care for me. I almost lose hope. But after I read your story I’ve been thinking, is it really because He doesn’t love me? And I looked back, did I really put trust in Him? I believed Him, but did I put faith in Him? If I really put my faith in Him, why did I still doubt Him; why I did I lose my hope? I’ve realized I didn’t put my faith in Him. Thank you so much, thank you for your story, and everyone, please don’t lose any hope in Him. I won’t. I will be stronger, and I believe, no matter how hard we feel right now, remember that God always has a best plan for us, He will never leave us.

Praise the Lord!!
The testimonials and the messages are really inspiring to all people who are struggling for their job and faith. Would like to add one precious thing OUR GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD.. HE REIGNS FROM HEAVEN OUR EARTH OUR GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD. God bless you all and its was really inspiring and it increases faith. Thanks to all people for their testimonials and inspiring others lives in the name of Jesus our Savior.

GOD makes all things beautiful in his time, if only we can hold on. Our lives and our components are before his eyes, he never sleeps, he never slumbers, he is never tired of hearing our prayers.
Do not compare yourself with any other person, only follow them who through faith and patience got God’s promises. Be connected, be engrafted. He is not a man that he should lie.

Dave, I hope your prayers in the Lord’s name are answered. I pray those being oppressed receive a gentle warmth come over them as the power of God thru Jesus helps calm our minds and gives love and a sense of thankfulness he is with us. May the peace that surpasses all understanding help us to forgive and give us directionn. Glory to God in the heighest.

I have tried to find a paying job since 17 Sept 2011, to date all I have heard is “it will come be patient” … how much longer do I have to beg and believe?

I see others that don’t believe in you, that are truly not good, those that play and pretend, how come they go forward. And for some reason everything I have tried to do to try and make a bit of money to support my family has ended in constant failure …it hurts. I don’t understand why and how… it seems either you love me too much and like to see me suffer or maybe there is some sort of joy that you find is seeing me fail.

I try to find a job, try to be a good father. I am so desperate. Each day the thought of a bullet to the head seems the only option that you want me to take.

Dear Father, I pray for Ivo that you open his eyes to the job you have for him and manifest your power in his life now. Comfort him with your Holy Spirit and may his faith grow stronger and allow others around him to be blessed, his family friends and beyond. In Jesus Name. Amen.

God is still in the blessing business! I am a living witness. Release your cares to him he will give you the desires of your heart. I too was unemployed and it wasn’t easy, but the holy spirit reminded me that God’s got my back! Every inspirational scripture I read, every sermon I heard was a direct message from God, and was the encouragement I needed at that very moment.

God has blessed me with my dream job. A job designed just for me. The job is located 10 minutes from my home, every one has accepted me with open arms and I was hired during the slower business season to give me time to learn their computer system and work flow. ONLY GOD GIVES BLESSINGS LIKE THAT!!

So trust in God and never doubt and know deep in your heart and soul that GOD’s GOT YOUR BACK!!!

Dear Ivo,
God is good and God is faithful.
Cast all your care on him.
Dear Lord,
Please bless Ivo with a dream job and wipe away every tear.
Thank you Lord that you care and that you love him.
In Jesus name Amen.

Dear all, Shalom. Thank you for encouraging testimonies and courage to those who have lost hope in JESUS’ NAME.

Dears, He who gives life is the one who will solve your situation. Surely having strong Faith is something God has to give for even to realise that your faith is low or too small is by the grace of the LORD.

I and my husband were terminated from work and on top of that I was denied my rights like taking my monthly salary deductions that the office was deducting and yet I was pregnant and we are renting and after delivery, I have been passing through a lot of sicknesses and much more… but through all that I have never seen GOD LEAVING US. And that’s when I knew that life is worthy than anything else.

Till now we are waiting for God’s promise jer 29:11 says “I alone know the plans I have for you, plans to bring you prosperity and not disaster, plans to bring about the future you hope for.” our GOD doesn’t change Malachi 3:6. I encourage you dear brothers and sisters YOUR LORD IS ALIVE JUST TRUST IN HIM. SALENDER TO THE LOVING JESUS. Truly soon you will give Testimonies.

Ivo, may the Holy Spirit fill you with confidence, peace and faith. I pray that you have found your answer and I pray that ALL believers find their miracle in strong faith. Amen to my brothers and sister.

I want to encourage everyone reading this that God is in charge and He will give you the best job. All you have to do is to believe. Seek his counsel. Does God want you to apply to “any and all” jobs or “specfic” ones. Remember He is a God that “opens and closes doors.” So, He has closed the door and He will open another.

I know it is hard especially when people keep telling you “in due time” but God is a God of breakthroughs. He will open it and it will be a job with the best benefits and the best pay. It can also mean that God is igniting a career change and aligning your talents and gifts to another vocation.

I have been unemployed for a long time now but I am so grateful to God for keeping my sanity and providing things like (a free gym) so that I can work out while I wait. I love Him and yes there have been days where I am cursing Him and continue to be impatient but His mercies are brand new so I know He forgives.

I know and I encourage everyone else who is looking to speak positive and encourage yourself such as

“when God gives me this new job…”

“At my new job…”

even though you don’t have a job because it is pleasing God by giving Him faith.

I also think that when we get the call to start a new job to come back on this site and share a testimony because others will go through the same situation. If you remember in the book of Daniel, the Lord saved him for burning in the furnace in the nick of time. Also, in Genesis, Abraham was about to slaughter his own son before the angel of God appeared. What I am trying to get too, God will show up in the time you need the most, He will never abandon you. “His ways and thoughts are much higher than His.” Please keep the faith and be encouraged that “His plan is not to harm us but it is for his God plan.”

God bless everyone reading this.

P.S. When you are unemployed for an extended period of time, your faith either weakens or always gets strengthened. Where will you be without faith?

Hey there, I just graduated high school, and after graduation, it was all bad. Ever since a freshman I thought that once I graduate, I would already drive my car and have my drivers licence and by Junior year I would already have my job and my girlfriend.

But unfortunately it was not like this, it was the opposite. I had no driver licence, no car, no job and no girlfriend and to make it worst I lost touch with all my old friends and I tried making new friends but it was just a dissapointment, I tried getting a girlfriend but it failed, I never grew a relationship, than I fell in love with this one girl who rejected me and completely ignored me, as a man I felt stupid and unfortunatey heart broken.

Although, I tried to motivate myself with motivational videos, I attended service, I attended retreats, I also preached the word, I did my best, but all along deep inside me there lied insecurites, worries, depression, stress, anxiety, fears, doubts. And in the process of me attaining and reaching my goals, I thought well these goals are not far from impossible so I went ahead and tried my best.

The results were good but I kept on receiving rejection, I was hired once but at the time I did not have the right documentations to work and therefore I renounced the job offer. I fell again into depression, due to all the rejection from a girl, from words telling me I can’t do it, from avoiding a job offer and so I grew a little hopeless. And all of this brought me to one important lesson, this question,

How bad do you want it?

If you just want it halfway you are not going to get it, but if you want it and pursue like if your life depends on it with the help of God you would reach mountains. I also learned God wants to help you but first you have to help yourself. Another lesson I learned is time! Where is your time going? Is it going on your success or in vain less things, such as the social media, t.v, slepping, all of this is just taking the light of the person you are to be someday, and so I did a graph in my mind and ended with a better result that if I put lots of my time in my success the results will be outstanding but if you continue to invest your time in the wrong things time will pass in a heartbeat and you will find yourself in the same place that you were.

So I had to cut with all those things that robbed me out of my success, the things that wasted my valuable time. I had to cut with t.v, social media, and just hanging out with friends or so. My time was now invested in everything for my success, read books, articles, take classes, watch helpful YouTube videos, be involved, meet new people, volunteer, attend sermons, serve the lord, always pray, try new things, meet a girl, and all of this your time should go to. All you need is less than a day for you to reach your success, so don’t waste a Sunday and then by Wednesday you realize that it went by fast and yet you have not accomplished anything.

It all began somewhere – plant your seeds be the best you can be pursue your dreams and goals with everything you got and keep on praying and God will bless you and raise you up. If you are tired of being miserable, depressed, anxious, insecure, heartbroken, you get up in the name of Jesus! Nothing can stop you when you are with the lord, fears are diminished when you walk with the lord, Giants look smaller when you are with the lord, problems are solving with the lord. If this is you or are currently feel these things, yes you have the power to say no to Satan because he is nothing compared to God although he lies to you, no sir! You will rise victorious and you be and create the impossible because you are to shine. So smile great things are coming your way. Amen

Oh Lord I believe….please help my unbelief. May you show yourself strong in our weakness. May all those who sow in tears reap in joy….and those who continually go forth weeping, bearing seed for sowing, come again with rejoicing, bringing their sheaves with them. Amen.

Thank you for your testimony , right now I am going through very difficult times and have been looking for jobs, but nothings has happened yet, I have been praying to God to give me strength emotional and spiritual since I can’t go through this without him, reading your testimony gives hope and courage to keep going, unfortunately I’m a person that gets discourage easily.

Wow! Am so inspired! Have been looking for a job and am believing there is one coming soon. One thing I have come to believe is that, in everything we do or want, it’s all about what God wants and not about us. So even the jobs we arr looking for, let us let our God be the centre. He only knows which job is good for us and at what perfect time.

I believe in God..
But this waiting is killing me, it hurts me so bad seeing myself suffering, I pray i cry, my sister doesn’t have a job, her husband doesn’t want her to look for a job outside the town of which we stay in, and here I am staying with them and their 2 kids. I feel like a burden and a failure, people who don’t believe in God, do succeed in life why is that? I sometimes question if God exists or it’s just a myth.

When I was 16 I lost my mom the following year I lost my dad while I was doing my matric, I thought I was gonna fail my matric no one believed I was gonna pass because i spent all my time in the streets instead of studyi ng but God was watching over me, i managed to pass and those who were talking negative about me failed, thats when I experienced Gods Grace.

I managed to graduate from tertiary but things went sour when I got an internship, there was lot of negativity at wotk and my bro inlaw saying negative things about me, n now that the contract ended I dont know whats gonna happen I pray to God everyday for a job so that I can move out, because I dont feel at home at all, I feel like a maid and to think they are letting their kids to disrespect me that hurts a lot.

Please God show me the way, because I sometimes feel suicidal. God please

Hi I am also on the job hunt for around 6 months, I was retrenched from my last Job, I didn’t feel too sad as I didn’t enjoy the job, I have a daughter and fiance to provide for and debts. its hard sometimes because there are people looking up to me, I started a business buts its not yet doing so well, but i still believe God will give me a Good Job aligned for me, last months I couldn’t pay the internet provider for my business but its a miracle they havent cut me off. last month i was invited for an interview, and they called me for the second and third now I am just waiting to be offered the contract, the wait is making me impatient as I am barely surviving. sometimes I feel like the Lord has foresaken me, but after reading this testimony I feel blessed. I know the job is mine. I pray to the lord for stronger faith in him.

So friends dont give up, the lords time is the perfect time, believe and have faith in Jesus Christ name amen.

My name is Rajkumaar, I was born in a Hindu family. I am only one child to my parents, they loved me very much. My parents use to do heavy worship to idols. Somehow I also to worship and use to go temples. In childhood I use to think like why we were born in this planet/why to die/then again we why need to born/die…where this will ended (But now I got answer). From my childhood onwards I was addicted to computer games/internet. In 2005 I was failed 12th exams, so I had a break in my education, in this time I use spend time with friends enjoying in smoking, drinking, playing cards, all types sins. This is use to my daily pattern. In 2006 I heard about AdSense and started earning money from it. For few days I have done and later stopped it.

In 2007 I cleared my 12th exams and joined in Degree. I still continued in bad habits (smoking, drinking). I was not regular to college in those days. In 2008 heard a bad news i.e. my dad diagnosed with Lung cancer (last stage). In same time my uncle died. My uncle had brought some loan from my dad friend without my dad knowledge. My uncle family (wife and her parents) didn’t want pay money. So my dad sold our house on 2008 Oct and cleared uncle’s debt and our own debts and remaining amount was deposited in Bank as Fixed deposit and brought 1 acre farm. In 2009 Jan dad has passed away. Few days went well. In 2009 I was dropped my college.

After sometime days I spent all the money for new business, my enjoyments. Now money in FD’s completely used and left nothing. In same time I use to live as per my wish without taking responsibilities of house. In same time we closed our business as it was not running successful. There is was no other source of income at that time. Farm income is to be very low. 2011 I went to Hyderabad for searching job. I was selected in a company with starting salary Rs: 7,000/- as SEO Executive. After ten days seeing my work company given hiked salary to 8000/- and me as Team Lead. I used to send some salary to my mom. Due to bad habits salary is not enough. Still there are problems in our lives. One day my mom called on mobile and told that “I don’t know somehow I getting thoughts that we are going to see good days in our lives”. I told if that happen means very good…ok (We don’t know about Jesus by this time)… After some days my mom heard about a testimony about Jesus from Ester Rani Aunty. That’s How Jesus made miracles in their lives. My mom use to go there house. After few days I had quitted my job and returned to home. I use to go there home sometimes prayer, but not with full heart. 2012 Aug 3 we have taken baptism. I didn’t gave my heart to Jesus at that time. I use to go prayer (forsake) and come. I still continued to enjoying my bad habits. Problems are increased in our live due to financial condition. Even we (also mom) have seen days without food those where very painful days. Few times thought to die for those conditions.

But Esther aunty use to help us (money, love). I will not say thanks her to in my life. Because what was done by her shouldn’t be end with a small word thanks. They use pray for us every day. After few days I had re-joined in same in company for 15000/-. After few days Jesus had blessed me. My salary hiked suddenly Rs: 50, 000(Glory to GOD… hallelujah). But I didn’t shared my testimony about gift. I was still continuing in sinful life doing all bad things. I was more addicted to smoking. I use smoke 2-3 packs daily, drink rarely. After few months I quitted my job came to home on May 3 2015.

On 24rd may 2015 Jesus spoken to me, you didn’t gave testimony what was I done. I asked for his forgiveness and fasted for 3 days. In this 3 days Jesus had made a miracle I stopped all bad habits which was done for 9-10 years (Glory to GOD hallelujah). After few days on due to sudden stopping of smoking I use to get bad thoughts. Those thoughts are very worst, wicked…can’t explain (In world may be I am the only person to have thoughts like this). So to get rid off this I started to water fast for 7 days (drinking only water). In this time I got a thought to do 40 days water fasting. After completing 7 days fasting I have taken a gap 7-10 days and started 40 days (drinking only water).

Those 40 days fasting were the most happiest moments in my life till now. With love and grace of Jesus I had completed successfully (Glory to GOD hallelujah). After completed fasting, I did one mistake i.e. I had taken complete bedrest for 1 week, due to this I had TIA (Mini Stroke). I didn’t even went to hospital for check-up also. Because I had trusted him. With Jesus love I was healed. (Glory to GOD hallelujah). I have seen his pure love before my repentance. But after my repentance to him I am enjoying his love. Jesus is our true saviour.

If he can accept me has his son means why can’t you, Just ask him forgiveness. He will be accepting you as his Son/Daughter…

For Christians Bro n Sis: I am requesting you to please pray for all unsaved souls daily.

I too have become looking for sometime for that career opportunity, not a job a career. After reading the article, when that career comes my way, I am going to give God the glory and be a witness to not give up. We all could throw in the towel. But, I know God is and has been with me on this journey. I have used the time worthwhile to hone my interview skills. We all need to use the time we put our best foot forward when God opens the door. Several weeks ago, I had an interview on Thursday in Philadelphia PA and drove straight through to Louisville KY for another interview on Friday, a mere 12 hr journey and a cold coming on. Why? God opened the door. But God has also saved me from opportunities several times that would have put me in the same position, so I am very specific for the career opportunity that I have been asking for.

“We can encourage one another-and ourselves-with a reminder about Jesus Christ’s return (1 Thess. 4:18). So when hardships get you down, think about this exciting event in your future. The best is yet to come!”

I have too lost my Job due to bad management, they forced me to resign else they will terminate me. Thus I have no choice but to choose to resign. I have tried 2 months to find a new job but no one calls. Even if there is 2nd interview, I was not offered the Job. I was desperate too as I have a wife to feed, house to pay and bills to pay.

I was sad too, your testimony encourage me too. Hope God will open a big door for me as well. I believe when God shuts a door , he will open another . The evil door was shut to keep me safe.

I went through a lot in my current job. I have been treated badly and even heard people asking where is my God now to save me from them. It really hurt to hear them say such hurtful words. That killed my confidence and trust in people. I fasted and prayed then God came through for me.

Today I am still working for the company but I have been seeking a job since last year and God heard my prayer this year and I received a call saying that I was successful, I am still waiting for the job offer to come through and I have faith that the job is mine because I know when God says YES no one can say no.

To everyone that is struggling, God is with you all and he will never forsake you. I have seen him many times doing things in my life that I can’t even explain. Keep praying and believing that you have received.

Our God is not slack concerning His promise. He shall surely bring it to past that great promise He has promised to us. All he needs from us is faith and obedience to His word. May the Lord grant us the grace to have faith in Him and also obey His Word IJN.

Thank you for your amazing story and your encouraging words! God knows my situation and knows what my future is holding…this is why I prayed for encouragement and he sent me here for the encouragement….being human its so hard to just sit and wait… though we must do the leg work…the sitting and waiting for an outcome is the hardest! “Peace be with you always”

I went for an interview on Sunday afternoon after not receiving one for almost a year of searching. I am so grateful but have been feeling anxious. But today I was reminded not to be anxious about anything but to pray about everything. I have faith the Lord will open this door and while I await this open door, I will continue to be happy and full of life and purpose.

I have read some touching testimonies and prayer requests. God is aware and He is omnipresent whether around us in person or via the internet. Mostly He lives in us. Let us maintain faith and trust in Him.

I really need everyone to pray with me for God to intervene in my situation. For the past 10 years of my graduation, I have not been able to get a good job. Am only just surviving on any thing my hands find to do. And now I want to get married and the lady too is looking for job. I don’t know where the funds will come from or how I will feed my family or get a befitting accommodation, but am just proceeding by faith. I don’t want frustration to set in. Please brethren join me in prayers. So that God can have the Glory.

I applied for well over 20 federal jobs all without even an opportunity to interview. Today for the first time I interviewed with 5 of the highest ranking officers in my area. The interview was hard and I feel as if my answers were not correct. However– God is still bigger than all of my answers. Why would God open a door for such a high paying position if it were not intended to be mine? I did not just sit around and do nothing to prepare. In fact I spent over 10 hours learning about the position. It is hard to believe someone like me could obtain such a high paying job but we promised we would give 1o thousand dollars to our church this year. We did not know how we were going to come up with the money but knew God wanted us to help develop the ministry. This position would allow us to give much more than the 10 K to the church and take our family to highest levels! Pray God will increase my faith and let be believe he is providing!

It is so comforting to read people who are suffering the same situation as mine. I lost my job 4 months ago due to a very difficult boss though I tried so hard to perform my job. I am on contract job most of the time and now it is a difficult time here in Singapore. I even have an elder Dad to look after and he gets sick. We do not have a very good health care system here in Asia so the health cost must come from our pockets. You feel that why you have so many problems at the same time while you are out of job. I would always hear from people whenever I get a new job that God gives and God takes away.

Initially I would fear these words although they are written in the Bible. But now after awhile I came to understand that those people who are saying this do not fully understand what it means. Because when God takes away, He takes away all even your very life. He only applies this to the very people who needs to be shaken out or snuff out of this world. He does not really punish people like us who are faithful to Him.

We suffer like job loss is because of people who did it to us. Like when there is retrenchment due to unprofitability of the company because of mismanagement. Personal politics even if some of us are not fighting back. Some people do not want to give us a chance also to acquire new skills because they think that the company is not a charitable institution. They are always mindful of their performance and to deliver which is not bad.

Our situation is further aggravated because people do not want to bother with our needs and problems also. They think of us as a heavy burden but they do like to do outreach program in far away places. We have to acknowledge that it is not always God who is the reason why a door gets closed. He did not create us just to make us suffer although it is very easy to fall into this way of thinking. I tried to identify the root causes of my frequent joblessness and below are the lessons that I have learned.

1. If you feel that you are not staying long in a company due to lack of skill sets, you have to take charge of that because no one is really willing to help you out. Just ask God to help you find the ways and means to get it. Companies would prefer to pay top dollar for someone who already have an experience rather than pay someone who have minimum pay but is learning the task on the job. Out of desperation and you lied on your job interview because you have experienced before that admitting on the interview that you still have to learn the task and you do not hear from them again and this happened many times so you are forced to change your approach. And you passed that interview and you started working, remember you do not have control of all the situation where it will happen that you will be caught that you are learning the task on the job. They can fire you anytime.

2. Boss will always be a boss no matter what. They have control in assessments and you don’t. To always pray to God that He will help you endure a difficult one until you find a new arrangement for yourself. Otherwise learn to embrace the situation and ask God to give you the grace.

3. Be open to migrate when nothing is working for you in your current location. Trust in God that even if you are already nearing retirement and something happened to your current work. Believe that God will protect you and find you a new job in a new location.

4. Yes other ungodly people are able to create a very nice niche for themselves while we are struggling, what is now the difference of having a God? Or there are those who are Christians but do not really practice as seen on how they live their lives yet they always get their way and live an envious lifestyle. For these kind of people, let them be they will have their time. God is just patient with them. We also need to be mindful that we only talk to God when we are in dire need. We are having difficulty to find time with Him in prayer when everything is doing well in our lives so when difficult time comes we have difficulty in praising Him all the more.

5. In good times, we are not mindful of how we spend. We buy what we do not need.

6. During the time that we have work, we do not help our companies further. As long as we have done our expected job that is already enough. We are stewards of God’s creation and so we should help in making our company prosper all the more so that it can help us in return.

7. We should be mindful of the people around us who are suffering and we should not tire in helping them because we ourselves must know that we had been there in their place many times before. We should not think that they are a burden because we had been almost like a burden too or we were actually a burden to others before we found our footing to stand and become independent again. Jesus wants us to share the burden of each other.

8. Try to create passive income while still on the job.

9. Always learn new things to prepare yourself for future work.

10. The most important lesson is God is someone that we can not put in a box where we can understand Him. Our own little mind is making some sense in what is happening to us while we are suffering. Jesus did not promise that if we believe in Him, He will solve all our problems and that we will not experience suffering. Experiencing suffering here on earth is like a exercise to the gym. If we have learned to suffer correctly, we are sure in the right path to go straight to heaven. Prior to entering heaven we suffer first like sickness or accident. Imagine if at death’s door, all we know is complain or curse because of the hardship we are experiencing. If during suffering we are able to still manifest our love to God and we exercised that a few times then it is not impossible for us to enter the narrow gate to Heaven.

All of us will have a job soon and we should remember this experiences of ours so that we may learn to appreciate what is given to us when are already receive it.

Thanks for share this testimony with us. My husband is unemployed and all of the interviews were very good, but they didn’t replay again to continue the process…
But I believe in God and I know He is preparing the best for him and his family…
Pray for us… God bless you.

Hello! I came across this testimony just now, while I’m having anxiety attack and depression. I thank GOD for blessing us (my husband and I) for being employed altough we do have so many debts and bills to pay every month, we are still indeed so blessed to have sources of income. But then we also both realized that if we not plan to look for better opportunities we will be stuck or worst our debts will increase, since what we are earning right now are not enough to suffice our needs. We are both looked forward, hoping and praying for my husband to get a call from the job we recently applied for him. We are both planning to go abroad to have a better opportunities and earn more than we have here in our country, so we could also save for our future family. I will admit that I’m currently feeling frustrated and somewhat losing my hope but I don’t want to loose my faith believing that in GOD’s PERFECT TIME our prayers will be granted. I do admit as well that my faith is not that strong and big that GOD will answer our prayers and I just realized that when I read your testimony. Maybe that’s what I lack the stronger and bigger faith to believe that GOD will grant us what we are both praying for.

Thanks for your inspiring testimony.. Now that I know what I need to do, I will surely apply it. I ask God the Father, God the Mother, Jesus and the Holy Spirit to strengthen our faith in believing that he will grant the desires of our hearts.. I CLAIM THAT GOD WILL GIVE US OPPORTUNITY TO WORK IN AUSTRALIA/CANADA FOR THE BETTERMENT OF OUR FUTURE AND FAMILY.. ???????

Hi everyone! For the past month my husband and I keep on praying for an opportunity to work abroad. We really wanted to live and work in Canada for greener pasture. But until now, we didn’t receive any call from any of the agency we’ve applied for, but then again this trial will never fail my faith and trust in GOD that in HIS perfect time our prayers will be granted. I believe GOD always have a bigger and better plan than what we have for our lives.

GOD never fails to surprise me. Just this week I have received several interview invitations from different agencies I’ve send my CV. I thank GOD that although I didn’t get yet the dream job we we’re both praying for with this job interview invitations, GOD was able to remind me that HE never stop giving us opportunity and that HE’S indeed listening to our prayers. We just really need to be patient and wait for his perfect time.

Last Thursday, I was invited by another interview from another agency who just viewed my CV from one job-hunting website where I uploaded my CV and other information for seeking job abroad. I’ve been active on the said website for the past month. I keep on sending my CV and clicking “Apply” for some job openings which fit my experiences and background, and just today I was scheduled by the said agency for an interview, unfortunately I wasn’t able to attend the said interview because I’m not really feeling well. I asked the agent if he can reschedule my interview with the employer but sad to say the interview will only be held once and it can’t be reschedule. BUT then some twist happened. The agent told me that if I can’t make it today, I can still come on Monday and attend another interview with another employer from another country I dream to work in. Indeed GOD do have a bigger and better plan, and HE will give it to us in HIS most perfect time. I’m so delighted!!! I really feel blessed and I’m so excited to attend the interview on Monday. I hope and I pray that I will be accepted. I’m lifting it all to GOD and I’m certainly that HE’s in control of everything..

I’m so excited to share this.. God is giving me unending twist of his plans in my life. Just this saturday I shared to you that I will be attending an interview for a job bound to Japan as an English Teacher. Yes I dream to work as a teacher and spend the next 15 years of my life in Japan. But then I declined the invitation again. Last night, I received a call from the agent of the said agency told me further information about the offer and honestly after we talked I believe that this opportunity is not for me. After my husband and I prayed last night I realized that the conversation I had with the agent was GOD’s way telling me that it isn’t for me yet, that HE’s preparing something better for me. BUT then I NEVER LOOSE MY FAITH TO GOD, instead after praying I tried to login to the website where I’ve been active for the past months in searching some overseas job for teachers.

I WAS SO SURPRISED! when I saw a job opening for Preschool Teacher in JAPAN! and the qualifications they are looking for fits to mine. In just a sec I immediately sent my CV to the email of the agency who advertised the said job opening and in less that 30mins I received an auto response email from the said agency inviting me for an interview on Monday because the said job opening is for urgent hiring.

I attended the said invitation, actually I arrived 1 hour before their office closed because my requirements isn’t complete yet. I was hesitant that they might just ask me to return when my requirements are already complete. When I arrived to their office, I immediately liked the ambiance and I felt the positive vibes. Although I arrived late they still accomodate me, they asked me fill-up an application form and then asked me to wait for my initial interview with the Head of Human Resource. While waiting I keep on praying and asking God’s guidance. I keep on telling GOD that I trust HIM and MAY HIS WILL BE DONE.. After 10minutes, my name was called and my interview begun. The interviwee was very intimidating. Iwas nervous but I just lift it all to GOD and did my best. We’ve talked for about 10minutes and her last word was “I LIKE YOU, YOUR GOOD” — THANKS BE TO GOD I PASSED THE INITIAL INTERVIEW!

GOD REALLY MOVES IN MYSTERIOUS WAY.. HE CAN GIVE US UNENDING TWIST BEFORE HE REVEALS HIS PLAN FOR US.. BUT HIS TIMING IS ALWAYS RIGHT.. AND HIS WILL IS ALWAYS THE BEST..

I’m just waiting for another call and while waiting I will keep on praying and trusting GOD. Because whatever happens I believe HIS PLANS ARE ALWAYS THE BEST..

One year ago, I’ve read this testimony. I thank God for the answered prayers. Last September 2015, I got my 3rd job in line with managerial position,after more than a year of patiently waiting for Gods perfect time.But last month I decided to leave my job, exactly 1 yr. since I started to work here. I’ve been working in food industry as manager for more than 3 yrs with different companies.

Before my 3rd job I used to study units for education,and praying to pass the board and have a job to help my family.I am blessed because I was able to read one of the testimony here before taking the exam entitled

“Exam Testimony – How Jesus Kept Me From Failing When All Physical Hope Of Success Was Lost “.

While praying, and browsing the internet God lead me in this site. It was truly amazing how God works for us, it was impossible for me to pass, because I was not prepared physically to take the exam… since I started to work and I don’t have enough time to review. Still, God made this possible for me, I successfully passed my board exam.—All Glory to God.

Even though I passed my board I continued to work as a manager. Because job is a blessing from above. Until the workload is getting high, conflict with co-employee is also visible. It was hard to work with this environment, plus the unfriendly salary offer. Still, I managed to stay. Believing that God is not finish with me, that I need to stay for a reason. The reason, to make a group of friends before I totally leave this company and encourage each and everyone to believe that all things is possible with God.–so we need to keep moving!—I’m happy I did. :-)

I am a graduate of Hospitality and Tourism Management and took a units of Education…I’ve been working for a management position… and decided to leave my job to pursue teaching??? Until now, I can’t believe that I am in this situation right now… Changing my career path is not easy, I need to undergo training before applying in my dream job. For the past month it’s hard for me to achieve the things I needed too for my application. Plus the fact that I don’t have teaching experience. But God is telling me…

“DON’T BE AFRAID; JUST BELIEVE.-MARK 5:36”

I don’t have a clue why I am here, But I believe that God called me in this vocation. To have more time with God, and share to my students what is good and pleasing to our God.

I pray that God will anoint me with strength.
I pray that He will grace me with patience and wisdom.
I pray that He will encourage me throughout the day to take correct steps to walk proudly.

“I WILL WALK BY FAITH, EVEN WHEN I CANNOT SEE.”

“GOD DOESN’T ALWAYS CALL THE EQUIPPED.
BUT HE WILL EQUIP THE CALLED…
HE MAKES US CAPABLE OF THINGS WE NEVER IMAGINED POSSIBLE”.

wooooow
How GOD loves you so much and blesses you
congrats on finding a dream job
As for me, its only 5.5yrs of me apply for work, and begging GOD for a job, and for some strange reason I still unemployed, its hard.. and gets harder everyday
Lord I beg you please

I would like to testify how God give me the job I’ve been dreaming for.

I am an undergraduate and I am not that smart kind of person but God is really good just remain faithful and never lose hope! Year 2013 Ive been trying really hard to get the job I really wanted but I always end up being rejected by so many different companies. I really felt bad about myself I felt so stupid, I felt so worthless, I felt so hopeless that time so I just go ahead and seek another job that I really dont want to work into because that time I was so boastful and thinks that everyone working at that company are brainless. YES that’s me before and I really thanked GOD for letting me experience the things I never thought I would. He let me to be rejected and end up working in that kind of job that I’ve been underestimating for me to be able to feel, see, what its like to work there. And I was wrong I was really wrong GOD changed my heart he helped me to become humble. After that I thought I was ready to apply and try again to the job I’ve been really dreaming of I failed … again and got rejected so I settle again for the job that I really dont want to work at but that time it was just fine to me and accepted my fate not having the job I am dreaming of but in my heart I really wanted to work at that specific company as I was walking looking at the tall building and very known company jokingly I told my friend that someday Im gonna work there, then I laughed because I know in my heart I wont be able to because its so hard to be accepted there and my friends told me too. So I left again my current job and TRY one more time to apply for the job ive been dreaming to work at. I failed again I cant count how many failures and rejections I had experienced Im about to lose all my money, Im literally broke that time I was really praying hard and asking why God letting me to be rejected again and again :( Then theres come to the point that I’ve been going back and forth to the specific company that I thought I will pass but no After spending a lot of effort and hope, I FAILED again. I was so heartbroken I was hopeless but I had no choice but to seek a job and then finally for the first time I PASSED thank GOD I was really thankful I am hopeful agaon and theres a training there for me to be able to work there but I’m so positive I will pass because I prayed for it but no, I did not. And thats the most heartbreaking part in my life I thought I will be able to work and get that job but still…. I did not passed…. It came to the point that I am no longer talking to God because I really felt hes not with me. I couldn’t explain how my heart was really broken that time but my heart keeps saying to try again one more time… and I tried… I failed again and again my friends got hired except me I feel… lost….. broken…. useless… stupid…. Theres no one I can ask for help anymore I am so alone all my friends had their own works already and I felt alone :( I tried again one more time because I have no choice I really want that job… Even though I feel bad I still prayed and trust the Lord … while I was walking on the street waiting for a cab before my interview I saw a sign and it was on a man’s jersey and it says Phil 4:13 …. and yes after a thousands of rejections I passed the interview I got hired I passed everything and even the training all that stuffed and I even had a salary way way way much higher than the other company offers way much higher than my friends salary! I cried! I really cried because of happiness! I really cried Thank GOD for giving the best for me. Thank GOD for saying NO to me and YES what is the best he thinks for me. GOD is GODD have faith in him!

I really learned a lot from God’s way and work and I thanked God for all the rejections and letting me to worked first in the company that I never wanted to work when I was in college.

He made a new me he made me humble, he made me very patient and he helped me to trust his will.

For all those people seeking for a job its not the end yet. Never give up for something you really want to. God knows everything and he will work on to it. JESUS IS LORD! Ask and it will be given to you, not on your time. But his time its just that he wants to show something to you for you to learn something. Seek his will Seek God. Love God! And Trust JESUS! GOD BLESS everyone!

My situation is similar to yours with the exception that I resigned from my well-paid job due to a bad boss.

I loved my job and gave it my 100%, even more than that I believe. I was just being overworked, stressed out for no reason and never appreciated for my good work. Senior Management was utterly bad at showing any appreciation, instead repeatedly accusing us for not getting the job accomplished which more so was an outcome of their mismanaged resources (i.e. mismanaged staffing or unwillingness to help). My new boss had this really bad attitude towards me constantly putting on a display in front of senior management about the work performance on the site which I performed was poor since I was managing that site. She would not offer to help or talk the situation out. I was tired running to her immediate manager who would listen to me, but I would get very little out of it. In fact, the message that came across was that I had to deal with the situation until about 2 months ago, I had to say – enough is enough. And so, I quit. I was tired with the back and forth with my boss, and was tired not getting the support I needed from anyone else. I know I was doing a fine job for the last 10 years I have been with the company and the numerous other bosses before this one who never had any issues with my performance, so I instantly knew this one was personal.

Been 2 months unemployed, and I have been under acute stress, sleepless crying nights, resentful, and disappointed as I had to move back home. I still miss my job and keep thinking about it. I also wish I had handled the situation differently, but I wonder how I could change a person who was adamant to be nothing but an issue all the time? But, I am learning right now in the quiet time that I have, I should not give power to such people as they are everywhere and more so they are works of the devil. I don’t know if leaving the job was the right thing to do or not, but I felt this strong urge to do it when the time came, almost like an inner voice that said – just leave. And for a second, I didn’t give it a thought, I sent my resignation notice right away. No one in management tried to talk me out of it, which also sent a clear message to me that I didn’t belong in that place.

I have answered 2 interviews in the last 2 months, and I have not been informed of the outcome yet. I have followed up, but nothing positive has come my way. I am still applying for more jobs but nothing has progressed in terms of getting to the point of an interview. I feel frustrated and socially disconnected and a bit ashamed of my situation. I am praying to God in this time of waiting. Although, sometimes my faith is shaken, I work on reviving my spirit to bring back the faith to trust in God again and believe that He has something good planned out for me. He has never let me down, always blessed me. I also feel that God is teaching me to be more prayerful, humble and patient during this time – qualities which I have lacked in the past. I am trusting in God and that he will send something positive my way soon. I will continue praying to Him and give Him praise for all the blessings he has given me and continues to give me.

I googled, ‘why won’t God give me a job’ and I came to this forum. I thank God. I lost my job exactly 2 years ago. This forum reminds me there is a God who loves us and no good thing will He withhold from us. I am encouraged to continue and keep my trust in the Author and the Finisher and that there is absolutely nothing impossible for Him who loves us. My testimony is coming I declare and decree this in Jesus name amen. Thank You Holy Spirit for directing me here.

Wow, great testimonies here have really lifted my spirit. I have been out of the university for 3 years now and no job, I have prayed, fasted BT still notin, mostly time I heard God talk to me to wait on him but am loosing faith as the day gone by. Reading testimony here will help me still hoping on God promise for my life. Our God is not dead, he is alive

I’ve been out of work for almost 8 years now. I’ve come to accept that unemployment is a part of my life for the long term. No point in hoping for something that will never come, as false hope only leads to frustration, disappointment and even depression.

Unemployment is not your portion. When I stood still and thought about what you wrote about not getting your hopes up I got a strong prompting that you are most likely very gifted in an area that will definitely elevate you. I pray that God comes through for you big time not only in employment if that is your dream but in your gifting. I don’t know you but my heart strings are pulling and telling me that you have a major gift and maybe that is what is sustaining you and will get bigger or it is what you will benefit in exploring. I pray peace and hope over your life in Jesus name amen. God created you, therefore you definitely are beautifully and wonderfully made.

in as much as i believe and have faith in God as a born again christian, sometimes i wonder if God deliberately fail to respond to your pray requests especially job offer. i have been praying for a job offer since August 2017 and as of date nothing has materialized excepts rejections. I just feel like my hope is diminishing and faith getting less and less. Does God really care? i have seen and experienced God’s miracles but its only in job offer where He has failed me. I really understand what Gideon meant when he said, ” Oh my Lord, if the Lord be with us, why then is all this befallen us? and where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt? but now the Lord hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites” (Judges 6:13). I just feel like what the Children of Korah felt when they were going through trials and its seemed God had betrayed them (Psalms 44: 9 “But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame;…”). Its really hurts to pray and end up having no testimony and wonder why, God (Psalms 44:12 “sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase thy wealth by their price. 13 Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us. 14 Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people. 15 My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,” All this has befallen me in despite my faith and desire to live for the Lord. Psalms 44: 17 All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant. 18 Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way; 19 Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death. 20 If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god; 21 Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart. I desperately need the job to cover for my tuition, living expenses, support my mom and youngsters and my offering in God’s church. I pray that God arises and save me through his mercies that abideth forever. I need a job this month because if i fail to get it, am not sure how am gonna make it next month in terms of rental payments, living expenses, tuition etc. Psalms 44:23 Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast us not off for ever..26 Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies’ sake. I need a miracle.

I have read your testimony and have been encouraged.Before i got the job i had been out for almost one year and given up hope.I remember there was a bible study i used to attend and the moderator asked me what the desire of my heart was.I told her i just needed a job.I was called for an interview in December, but there was no communication on whether i was considered or not. In January, I remember I was seated watching television and i remember thinking in my mind,God if i got the job,let my phone ring so i know my fate.Immediately after the thought,i was called and told i got the job.In the period before getting the phone call,my friends would ask me if i got a job and i would say yes (Calling those things which are not as if they are).

I have recently applied for a job vacancy which is just fit for me and at a higher position,I am believing the job is mine and thanking God for the opportunity.I wake up and see myself in the new place.

I am holding on to Jeremiah 29:11 For He knows the plans He has for me.Plans to prosper me,to give me a hope and a future

I have been working in this government organization for years I have finance qualifications. I’m earning the lowest and my work is a lot. Everybody can see it.. Since I have been employed interns of which some I have trained are coming and getting permanent jobs and they earn more than me. These has now started to depressed me. I feel the managers want me were I am because I’m good at my job. Every day I’m applying for a new job. My future is not with this organization. I know God will provide. It’s been a long hard emotional road for me as I feel I have been used. I pray for a new job. That’s the only way. Thanks for your testimony. I’m inspired through this emotional phase I’m going through.

Thanks for sharing your testimonial, It give me hopes and in faith with God. I also looking for a job, even though my contract will be ending next month. I went for an interview for few times with no success. Yesterday afternoon I went for an interview for System Analysts role, Still waiting for outcome. God timing is perfect. I trust in God, have Faith with God, he has a plan for prosper me, give me hope and a future. He will never leave me alone, I believed he will help me getting a better job and free from financial problem. I claimed the job, I believe I received. I need a miracle. Sisters and brothers, please pray for me.
In the mighty name of Jesus,
Amen

My mother lost her job when new owners took over and the new owners are really horrible people to work for, they were like rich people who think that the law couldn’t touch them no matter what they did. But my mom has been on unemployment for over five months now and my mom has been resorting to job resources to help her get a new desk job. She can only get a desk job since she’s got a form of arthritis, so she needs a sit down desk job since she can’t stand up for too long. My mom did get one interview but we’ve yet to have an answer, we keep checking in on the resource that’s helping my mom try to get a new desk job every week. My mom did apply for another job but they told us they’ll be working on it. My mom believes they didn’t want to blurt out that a job position was opened so they wouldn’t get swarmed by others trying to get a job which it’s understandable, no one likes to be bothered by so many people when news like that is blurted out that a position is opened, so they probably wanted to keep it a secret but only tell those who applied for the position and again, it’s understandable. I’ve been praying for the whole time for God to give my mom a new desk job. So far, we’ve learned online applications doesn’t do it for us since hardly anyone gets a response that way, so it seems like doing it the old way is better for us, but even that has shown some set backs. But this story does sounds optimistic. But I do welcome as many people as possible to pray for me and my mom. Which of course means we have to pray everyday in faith, that goes for me and anyone who prays for me and my mom or if they pray for anyone. So please pray for me and my mom that my mom gets a new desk job before the holidays. I already believe that God has given my mom a new desk job before the holidays begin and I believe we’ve received it. Brothers, sisters, fathers and mothers, please pray for me and my mom.
